a few weeks ago we had some cross on the show so we'll invest everything in baltic and see if everything comes up fizzy damn well that on the theme a turn to hit the c.v.a. and thank you but what saying now is mission impossible. under the case if i can find some crazy why not into the south and i still think that that was because i think think. death row inmate joseph would rise in pain during a two hour execution this prolonged suffering was not part of the player and not constitutional but an accident and not quite a unique wanted that just this year in both oklahoma and my native ohio there have

been botched executions due to complications with lethal injection one judge alex kozinski who voted to give would a stay of execution due to the questionable nature of lethal injection drugs said that the good old firing squad would be a lot more humane and his opinion eight or ten large caliber bullets fired at close range and massive damage causing instant death every time i think lethal injection is popular not for the executed but for society as judge kozinski said shooting someone in the head with a machine gun is instant death so why don't they use the firing squad because that would be messy and raise questions quietly injecting people way from prying public eyes allows the dirty deed to be done without the hassle of ugly news footage i think that it says something odd about society that we must kill the wicked and murderous but could you do it in a bloodless way completely out of sight i don't want to lose my appetite but that's just my opinion.

well again more of this in this news now we're focused on ukraine for the next couple of minutes in the past few hours a russian t.v. crew came under attack while filming a russian border crossing with ukraine jenna's from this very channel say shell

fired from the crater inside exploded near them earlier today two european security monitors confirmed they witnessed a separate attack at the same checkpoint that another shell reportedly damaged a residential home on the russian side days ago piskun off as the details a group of always see observers were at the checkpoint at the time along with border guards and customs services officials and suddenly a shell had detonated thankfully no one got injured but the federal security service claims that the shell came from the ukrainian side and there are also reports that another shell had landed in a village nearby also on russian territory and this isn't the first time that russia that area comes under fire as the fighting in eastern ukraine continues and this definitely only aggravates the situation since one person is already been killed by in a similar incidents another shell came from also the ukrainian side and we have heard statements from. all senior russian officials including before and minister

will say that so far mark over a year old one of the incidents as an act of war what they're warning about if it will be established that these are deliberate attacks of then russian media was inspired using military perhaps as well. in the deeply sensitive area around the crash site of a lazy in flight m.h. seventy militias report further clashes in the nearby towns of skin tartars ukraine's president of the nizhni ordered a forty kilometer no combat zone around the area where that plane came down but that's now been reduced to a twenty kilometer radius this week international teams managed to get to the scene of the air made seventeen tragedy but only after having been earlier preventive several times because of fighting from getting there on saturday the experts withdrew from the villages artillery fire was a nearby kevin to government forces baby jogger getting in the way of the mh seventeen recovery in fact finding mission on the ground. and these are the latest

pictures we're getting from the outskirts of the regional capital donetsk the main hub still of anti of resistance as you can see residential areas are getting caught up with the violence as ukrainian forces close in on anti-government strongholds and also we're getting reports of something new to from the dance not the target of kiev's military operation but three civilians have been killed there in the past twenty four. and some disturbing images of merged from the city earlier this week to a care home for the elderly was shelled there five residents were killed both sides again blame each other for the deaths this is only one of many examples of populated areas being attacked president petro poroshenko that civilians would not be targeted ukrainian military forces the national guard and other units would never allow themselves to do harm to civilians ukrainian soldiers will risk their own lives but won't threaten women children and elderly men this is the eternal chivalrous nature of the ukrainian army. well that's the official line

anyway but a u.n. report released this week has raised the alarm over the growing number of civilians being killed by shelling in eastern ukraine it says not enough is being done to protect them locals are devastated by the ongoing fighting anybody when you say leave. or you seldom seen you go when you get your morning you knew you would see you cover the clooney. this is up with the money but the. world. series praised structural you know what got up was i were you know when you exploded or. grow years ago you know you don't believe is just store. you know you know that i will start to go up. this is the. view of the

for how. this is what it is will be for the rest of you. mutimer as it was on the euro which was. just. you know the developments this week a group of ukrainian soldiers of lay down their arms at a border crossing with russia the one where o.c. observers witness shells land from ukraine they reportedly asked for asylum in russia ukrainian troops have refused to take part in kids' military operation before just over a week ago forty one soldiers abandoned the hosts in ukraine and appealed to local militia to help them cross the border into russia they said they refused to fight their own people. i'm getting the job done of being a journalist is increasingly difficult for some journalists an american working for artie's ruptly video agency west of ukraine's been kicked out of the country few days ago lynette premium was filming

a rally of local activists when security forces detained her and questioned for several hours having both russian and american citizenship she said she was forced out because of a russian passport is how a leader described the incident to me. journalist with a camera you know just there was a rug please sticker on my tripod and straightaway said you russia today first of all they questioned me themselves about seven of them i gave them all the details that could give them i gave them my press cards i had nothing to hide and they're my colleagues of history i have i wanted to give them all the information they needed and you know fifteen minutes later three policemen came and three officials came from national security so it's in ukraine and they were asking me so many questions taking all my details and then when they didn't they didn't believe that my american passport was real showed them a picture of it so they followed me to the hotel until they could see the actual passport they asked me that i absolutely had to give my footage away and they had

to raise it. first of all they put it on their computers so someone out of the officials has it right now they have all the footage that it took of myself being questioned and also at the protest. and they gave it back to me was blank. many russian crews have been deported from ukraine but this is the first time a u.s. citizen is being kicked in previous cases journalists were expelled assumes officials learned they were from russia last month u.k. reporter graham phillips who was working in eastern ukraine was arrested and then you can develop the country. building fires to keep them. as the ukrainian crisis unfolds the mainstream media across the atlantic seem to be focusing on just one person the russian president going to come next takes a look at where the american media is really interested.

president obama said he does not believe this growing tension with russia could be the beginning of a new cold war no. no cold war one could only wish journalists thought the same or at least those who are making covers of magazines because some of them hark back to cold war as if they were made back in the day no matter how complicated an issue you can be almost certain that the media are going to boil it down to personalities well with ukraine it's one personality the russian president what does he do when he is working or off on an outdoor adventure and why don't we see him smiling very much he's not really driven by by women or by we're distracted by alcohol he's very tough he's a very arrogant. person to deal with. and what kind of diplomacy can you expect moving forward when diplomats use this kind of language this is the you came back later to the united states speaking to me three

adjectives you'd use to describe a lot of your proof. i'm not a poet but. i think. dishonest afraid comes to mind because we've had all these lies. but i think it's a reckless to makes one wonder if they really want to solve a problem or if they're good with the current state of affairs. the media focus on the russian president has had its effect on twitter where users came up with the hash tag bling booty and now many use it to comment on pretty much anything it didn't rain in my country today i blame poison for it or a mosquito just bit me blame putin and then to the report that former georgian president saakashvili doesn't want to go back to his country to stand trial and says he blames putin this years ago if you are in trouble just playing putin in washington i'm going to check out our. western nations finger pointing at russia of ukraine sort of further tighten the screws this week too with the toughest

sanctions since the cold war america's latest measures stop some of russia's banking heavyweights more praising in the united states on the list of russia's second largest by bt b. which also operates in europe asia and africa as well as a subsidiary of bank of moscow to russia's agricultural bank which funds the farming sector has been targeted as well in the united shipbuilding corporation which is the country's largest holding falls under the punitive measures too but the us said it isn't unanimous in its support for sanctions it seems you know after the sort you fell there was a tremendous potential to making russia our friend of tremendous potential they withdraw their troops from eastern europe. the russians. were open to all kinds of interact even being coming part of the world community and. a horrible tremendous opportunity i should say was squandered. it's not just america brussels

is also barred some of russia's banks from trading in european markets it puts the country's biggest and oldest bank in the firing line sperm bank the better g sectors also targeted western know how and equipment for offshore fuel exploration is under embargoed for russian companies and arms sales. restricted as well indeed in twenty thirteen russia's global weapons export market was worth about fifteen billion dollars it's a lot of money a lot of people involved tell us that the measures are a two way street though the european businesses should prepare for cuts as well now . estimates in germany meantime suggest it could lose six billion euros in exports to russia this year alone moscow's number one e.u. trading partner berlin has plenty at stake as you can see the annual turnover between the two comes to some seventy six billion euros six thousand german companies operate in russia and that could have a far reaching effect on hundreds of thousands of german jobs that depended on

business in russia economists michael moore spoke to us in the week he believes europeans will have to pay the price for this political gamble when you talk to the people on the street when you talk to people who have a run a business or executives in a big company there are not for the for the sentence i can tell is to you because sanctions never are a one way street and there's always a reaction to a sanction and when it comes to this imposed sanctions or the sanctions it will be in polls on russia then of course the germans are the ones who are suffering was this easy for united states to shop for think of but the ones who are suffering are the germans or those countries who are close through russia because they naturally have the biggest business implications. to script up as well on our website we've got much more analysis and perspective of what repercussions the fresh sanctions will have for the global economy he said r.t. dot com. still to come here we've got the story of modern day

we've got the future covered. do we speak your language or not at the. news programs and documentaries and spanish what matters to you breaking news a little turn to defang goals can stories. you hear. that troy all teach spanish find out more visit. britons of the public inquiry into one of the most talked about deaths of the decade the murder of the former russian security officer alexander litvinenko he died eight years ago now after drinking with radioactive polonium in a london hotel when a culture of it looks into the case. sick and lying on his deathbed this is how the

world got to know alexander litvinenko a former f.s.b. officer who fled russia and made london his new home it was his accusations against the russian government which propelled is not serai stories of senior officials in moscow supposedly ordering assassinations and carrying out terrorist attacks and the world ate it up because under litvinenko was presented as a famous this of the end of somebody who was upsetting the kremlin who was revealing some sort of secrets that were upsetting president putin himself this was not the case at all it's been nearly eight years since alexander litvinenko death yet his family are nowhere near the truth and very pleased to receive this decision in the public inquiry and i know it's in the as a long time to wait and it's not as it munce is in many nic here but

frankly if it were to see if this but why has it been such a long road to this truth let's take a look at what's been achieved so far british prosecutors accuse the two men co's former colleagues of murder and him durance he both deny and involvements russia refuses to extradite any of its own citizens because the constitution doesn't allow it's the british inquest is delayed as the coroner of the sides of public inquiry will be better ministers rule out that option the high court supports the idea of an inquiry so a public inquiry is announced the main twist to this case came after revelations litvinenko was allegedly working for m i six as well us with a spanish security services and this is precisely the kind of data which will now be scrutinized as a public inquiry does allow secret sensitive government material to be examined i do this not it gainst. russia you know and i do this for just if i

do this for two years i would like to show people you able to get justice in any difficult to create. a truth which could turn out to be uncomfortable to swallow for some marine a cost artsy we spoke live in an because brother in an exclusive interview he's got his own theory about what happened. so far we haven't seen one official piece of evidence that would prove the cause of alexander's death it's been eight years and all we've had our interviews and newspaper articles as far as i know alexander was trainee agents for amite six in that time he found out a lot about the life of russian dissidents in the u.k. he didn't know any english and after he lost his job he wanted to start a business in russia of course his previous employers didn't like the idea of him going back so i suppose the western security services decided to get rid of him. and more news for the week another case that reemerge to european courts have

ordered russia to pay more than fifty billion dollars in damages to the former shareholders of you cos the defunct russian oil giant mikhail khodorkovsky was arrested for tax evasion in two thousand and three the firms then sold off and went bankrupt all of which was legal according to moscow but the new court decisions as you call it was in fact illegally seized by the kremlin one analyst told us this is just another move in a wider political game. it strikes me as a very political decision the west manages to create this illusion of seriously rule of law of steering this in the judicial process and this is the. mr sort of cold ski and he is he's had been found guilty though not only in russian courts but they're guilty sentence for tax evasion and fraud was upheld by the european court of human rights it is outrageous that anyone should imagine that russia is going to pay sixty billion dollars to these criminals. facebook's being accused of sharing

nobody tells them what they will face when they get to guitar it's not given enough attention by international governments companies governments they can say thank you we don't want to work with you until you change the words until you abolish the foulest system until you put in place fundamental like the right. of us to go to use of bahrain's top human rights activist now bill roger but his family have to have a passport seize last week as they arrived at heathrow airport he spent two years in a bahrain prison for campaigning for greater democracy from bahrain street monaco noble told us he's stuck in the u.k. now because it's hypocritical foreign policy towards the gulf region driven by arms sales and all profit. in the ground model oppression more people in detention thousands of people behind bars thousands of people have fled the country thousands
